A Jap girl's twitter bio.

>>12441217
Are their bios that extensive?

What will these girls do later in life? Get married and be a housewife ?

>>12441500
I dunno. What are YOU gonna do?

>>12441510
Probably keep doing simply assembly line jobs and hanging out with my family and play games and read books and follow Japanese idols

>>12441510
Marry one of them.

I wonder what these types of girls think about

>>12441707
Designer hand bags, pop stars, German Idealism, reality television

Metamorphoses

>>12441730
I don’t think that applies here

>>12441529
Best of luck, anon.

>>12441524
This is my life as well

It would be nice to be ignorant of everything and just enjoying going through life enjoying fad after fad

>>12441205
I wish there was more research on the idol industry in English

>>12441727
Do they just think about products and new trends?

Goodbye to Berlin by Isherwood

Literally the only thing that matters about the main character is that he's so beautiful he charmes everybody, and he prizes that so much he trades his beauty for his soul. Prepare for homosexuality. Read it OP it's good.

There is leo Tolstoy short story about a priceless visiting a monastery that is something like that.

Is there a female version of this type of story?

He thought he looked good? I thought he was insecure about being half rice.

I mean American Psycho, in a way

>>12443309
That one was good and funny but maybe too on the nose and not too realistic.

>>12441205
That's literally the plot of the Fountainhead

It's not just about individualists getting oppressed by the collectivists?

Forbidden Colors by Mishima

>>12444322
The "antagonist" Peter Keating builds his whole life and career based on what makes others love and admire him which ultimately ends in his complete destruction because people change over time

>>12443273
He thought he was perfect and couldn't fathom why other people didn't think the same. That made him angry.

Specifically the part concerning Sally Bowles. Nothing else really fits that in the book.

>>12443041
Anyone know this title?

>>12446550
Literally life on the easiest mode

Literally Ayn Rand, specifically The Fountainhead

>>12442833
Some of them, no doubt.

>>12442538
Me too. The Japanese seem very closeted about the whole thing, with little investigation into the darker parts of the industry.

I wonder how much the average idol has to slut it up.

>>12448145
Her villians you mean?

Why scare quotes?

Yeah I know but it's questionable if he's the main antagonist considering Ellsworth Toohey is pulling all the strings

>>12444521
Have you read his My Twisted World? I just started and it seems like he’s always bitching about being weak and short and not being fully white. Doesn’t seem like he thinks he’s perfect.

>>12441205

Most Japanese idols have secret black boyfriends.
Their fans are incels and would probably kill them if they had a public Jap boyfriend, a black one would probably topple the whole country.

Can't think of a book but watch Cleo from 5 to 7

>>12442833
I do, who doesn't ?

good god thats a lot of make up

Idols like to use lots of filters on their blog pictures like the 2nd picture.

>>12449471
That's the thing though. He constantly brags about how awesome he is while also telling us how he fails and cries about everything.

Elliot is a pure narcissist to the point where he's narcissistic in both ways: "I'm so awesome and thus I'm special." And "I suck so much and thus I'm special." He looks for every opportunity to look unique. It's mental and fucking hilarious.

Just look at pic related.

He brags about something other people gave him.

Is it available in English?

>>12451959
I don’t know how he can have such a clear recollection of his childhood. Like how the tables in classroom were set up or what specific type of playing he did with specific friends and when certain people came to visit and other bullshit most people wouldn’t remember

>>12450167
I enjoy seeing women wearing makeup

>>12441205

Snake's arc in Monogatari does this really well.

>>12441205
>their only source of self worth
source? How do you know them that well personally. What if they just like taking photos of themselves while they are still beautiful and young. Is it really an objectively wrong thing to do? That's like saying athletes should just stay home and hide their talents just so they don't gain any self worth out the attention they get while playing.

>>12452658
Looks like a nerve was struck.

>>12452658
I’m not talking about the girls in the pictures. They’re just examples of beautiful people. The pictures are just eye candy and being a successful idol is heavily focused on other people finding you attractive so it’s related to the topic at hand. I’m actually familiar with the idols in the pictures and they’re all sweet and goofy girls with their own different personalities and ambitions. Some have been to college and/or graduated college while being an idol. I’m sorry if you took the thread as accusing these girls of being shallow.

The point of the thread is that I’m looking for characters in novels that are beautiful and only take pleasure in being thought of beautiful and nothing else. Nothing else to live for. No other ambitions other than to be loved and accepted by many people and be thought of as beautiful.

>>12452718
Not an argument

>>12441205
Why would you need a novel about how the vast majority of human beings determine self-worth? Is something so common that interesting? I can't imagine many novels have been written about something so completely mundane.

>>12452901
The vast majority of people determine their self worth purely from physical beauty? You actually think that?

>>12443111
The one by Zola...Nana. Couldn't finish it.

I was meandering along a thoroughfare of Ikebukuro, getting an eyeload of fresh Asian tail scurrying about to and fro, when my gaze fell upon a wizened old slope sitting outside a cafe, a plastic cup half-drained of beer in hand, a sunhat resting on his knee. He had a look on his face like he was about to cry, a searching look in his eyes as though his bow-legged, hunchbacked old mare of a wife had wandered off in delirious stupefaction from years of eating irradiated fish, leaving him as sole custodian of her beloved straw chapeau and the bitter memory of her hoggish grunts and squeals as he would mount her drooping yellow buttocks, and with all the delicacy of a Skilsaw, ream into her puckered anus with all 6 inches of his turgid eel meat, shoving and writhing until reaching a selfish climax, leaving her face down on the futon, her breath hoarse, butthole brimming over. I paused my stride, raised my state-of-the-art Samsung telecommunications device towards this hapless creature, capturing his image for my own posterity, a positive reminder of the futility of the past which we've done so much to overcome, and by that same token a reminder of my triumph, a glowing keepsake of my unerring judgement. Another moment or two of reflection passed and I turned on my heel and continued on my way, young nip trim bedecked in the sweet little sailor's outfits again flooding my sight, the sun hanging low over the skyline of window box air conditioners, satellite dishes, the soft glow of neon just beginning to reveal itself.

That's not their job, brand reps do it for them.

>>12452872
Why does she have a penis?

>>12455235
I mean do they think about cosmetics and purses and make up cute things to buy

>>12452872
>examples of beautiful people
The girl on the right in the OP is decent 6/10 at best, you yellow fever fags have very low standarts

>>12455475
Cosmetics yes because they do their own makeup for the most part. Luxury items, very few idols are well-paid. Cute things, depends, just like normal girls.

>>12455530
People like girl on the right for her talent and failing auditions a couple times despite being among the best applicants. Girl on the left is sensational, though.

>>12441205
Snow White.
The wicked stepmother/witch that constantly seeks validation and assurance from the magic mirror about her own beauty, knowing that she only retains her power so long as she's the most beautiful.

>>12455548
I had forgotten about that one
